Diseño y aplicación de un software educativo para el aprendizaje de Geometría evaluado en estudiantes de primero bachillerato de Riobamba, caso de estudio Unidad Educativa Santo Tomás Apóstol.

Abstract

The objective was to design and apply an educational software for the learning of Geometry evaluated in first-year high school students in the city of Riobamba, case study Educational Unit "Santo Tomás Apóstol". An educational software called "Geo-Line" was developed that consists of explanations, exercises, videos, practices and evaluations of each of the contents of the Geometry course for the first year of Baccalaureate. This research has a quasi-experimental approach, under the modality of a socio-educational project, supported by field research that reaches an explanatory level, supported by the results of the arithmetic means of the evaluations applied to the experimental group consisting of 46 students and the group control with 47 students from said educational unit. In addition, the survey, observation and objective evaluations were used for data collection, which were validated by experts, whose reliability was analyzed with Cronbach's Alpha and in all tests they have a reliable level. For the analysis of the results, the parametric Z test was used, verifying the hypotheses with the control and experimental groups. As findings, we started from a diagnostic test in which the experimental and control groups had almost the same performances, in the end it was observed that the experimental group has a better level of application of knowledge when using the Geo-Line program since its arithmetic mean is 7.15 and that of the control group is 5.7, that is, the experimental group improved by 14.5%. compared to the control group.
